It’s 13 days to go to The Experience 2012 here in Lagos Nigeria. Indeed 500,000 voices would be lifted in the concert of a lifetime for many attendees and even those who would be on stage, it would be the night to remember.
Convened and hosted by Pastor Paul Adefarasin, The Experience is an Interdenominational Gospel concert that features some of the best-known musical talents of our time. The Event, which debuted in December 2006 with over 70,000 persons in attendance rapidly gained momentum at its second outing with a quantum leap in attendance of well over 250,000 people. The Experience has now become known as the largest musical concert in Africa.
In previous editions the Experience has run through the night starting at 7.00pm and running till 6am the following morning; a colossal 11 hours of uninterrupted prayer and live music!
At its inception, the Experience was simply an opportunity for Nigerians to put aside tribe, tongue, class, and creed; come together and lift one voice and worship God. The event is seen as a bridge of reconciliation, and a beacon of light and hope to the much afflicted and often maligned continent of Africa. Attended by Federal and State dignitaries, Captains of Industry and your regular man or woman next door, The Experience was truly representative of a cross section of Nigeria’s eclectic community.
This year’s concert is scheduled to hold at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Onikan from Friday, the 7th of December 2012 through to Saturday 8th of December starting from 6pm. The line up includes: the Soweto Spiritual Singers, Deitrick Haddon, Fred Hammond, Chevelle Franklyn, Israel Houghton, Don Moen…
